Faith, to me, is just SO identifiable with George. I Want Your Sex imo could be played around a little bit more with Adam's voice.

Whatever song he sings will be a treat. So happy that we will hear him and the surprise song in just a few days.

well that tweet. I don't think it matters what song suits GM or Adam. The show is GREATEST HITS. Faith was #1 in US. So it makes sense he performs one of GMS biggest hits.

Plus? Not to be punny or anything, but it would be sexy as hell to hear him sing that!

David Wild wasn't being subtle lol... he was dropping a thinly veiled hint....Adam is clearly singing George Michael, most likely Faith

You are probably right rustycat about Adam singing Faith, but I am hoping for One More Try. I think he would blow this song out of the water and I'm thinking his vocals are more suited to this song. JMO. Not sure though just how big it was, but it was a #1 hit in the US in 1988.

One More Try" was a soul song in the tradition of songs by Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder with lyrics of a man who pushes his lover away out of fear of repeating past relationships, only to accept the invitation in the end.

Faith was also #1in 1987

Well, I have to disagree with you. I think it absolutely matters to Adam what song will suit him voice wise and lyrics wise. He always stays true to himself and that is to be admired. I don't think that he will sing a George Michael song without thought going into it. imho

Faith , the album had a lot of hits from it. Five or six I believe. So Adam has choice. Kissing A Fool is a nice choice too. Also Father Figure is pretty dramatic as is One More Try. Monkey can surprise us all coming out of left field.

Anyway.....speculation is so much fun!

I also thought that if he sang a Sheryl Crow song, that All I Wanna Do would be awesome. I would love to hear Adam singing about Billy and him drinking and observing people at the car wash.

Two more days and we will have our answer.

So it's for sure Faith. Now I really can't wait for Thursday night. Wonder if he is going to go all literal with the guitar and butt shaking. I wouldn't complain. He has the look already with the facial hair tight jeans and jackets. He has even sported the big (ankh not cross) earring during QAL 2014 shows. Now we just have to wait for the "he's no George/Freddie Michael" comments. You KNOW they will happen. At least he is used to such comments now and I don't believe they will bother him as much as the Freddie ones did.

I love the way Adam always makes a song his own. I just don't think he can do that on this show. He more than likely has to sing the song as the original was sung. Going to be interesting and fun for sure.

Also, very happy that he is on US tv again. I'm sure there will be Americans that haven't seen him in ages and will hopefully look him up and buy his last two albums. Fingers crossed for a bump for him.

Adam will certainly be able to match George Michael's look...without even having to go out and buy any clothes or sun glasses or get his hair done!

I hadn't listened to the song for a very long time and on first listen today, Faith kinda has a Michael Jackson vibe to it so I am sure that Adam can handle it. These Boys and Pop That Lock fall into that same grove. I don't think he needs to bother with a guitar...that would just make it weird for him. Just hope he lets loose and comes up with some hot dance moves. Knowing Adam, he will just be spinning around on the stage a lot!

The performers that I saw during the last 2 weeks were giving their own bit of creativity to the songs but not straying too far from the originals so it is not like watching a bunch of imitators. They are doing a lot of duets and combining individual singers with groups so it is something different and enjoyable to watch and listen to for a change.

Makes sense. Faith was GM's biggest hit ever. Was top ten around the world, #1 in the US. And was the biggest selling single of 1988. So makes sense. And when I said Adam doesen't have to suit the song. I meant the constant comparisons he gets to greats. He is not suddenll going to be GM 2.0. We know he can put his own spins on songs. And I am sure he well expereiment with the arrangement haha.

Ha! Clever use of words in that tweet. "Wham -- Careless Whisper". Would be a nice surprise if Adam also sing it (but I guess not likely.) I was a huge Wham & GM fan back then.

I think it's great that Adam covers "Faith". It's a song audience can dance to/rock out, and it will show well on TV.
